Step 5: Testing
All applicants for kindergarten and first grade are required to take an
admissions test. Students applying for grades 2-12 may or may not require
testing. Report cards and the results of a nationally standardized test taken
within the last 12 months will be reviewed and considered. If no such testing
records are available, or if additional testing is necessary, the applicant
will be notified. The basic testing fee is $60.00 per student, and is payable
at the time of testing. Additional testing may be necessary at a fee not to
exceed $150.00. Testing dates are scheduled for Saturday, March 17. Additional
dates will be set as necessary.
Step 6: Interview
When all paperwork and test results have been completed, assuming there is
space available in the grade for which you have applied, and that the applicant
is academically and developmentally prepared, an interview will be set up
between the applicant's parent(s) and the Elementary and/or High School
Principal. All sixth through twelfth grade applicants will be interviewed
during this time.
Step 7: Acceptance
Acceptance of the applicant will be based on the overall combination of test
results, transcripts, teacher recommendations, pastor questionnaire, and
interview. In addition, one of the unique things about Providence is that we
are a “covenant school.” Our mission statement indicates that we exist “to
provide excellence in Christ-centered education as an extension of the
Christian home.” Consequently, at least one parent in a family must profess a
personal faith in Jesus Christ in order for their children to be considered for
enrollment. One hundred percent of our families at Providence Christian Academy
are active members of local churches. Important issues like this one are
discussed during a family’s personal interview with an administrator prior to
their student(s) being accepted at Providence.
Step 8: Registration
The registration form and acceptance letter will be mailed to the applicant
upon acceptance. The registration fee is required to hold a place for the
student. A student is not officially registered at Providence, until the
registration forms and fee are received.
